Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the data processing field. More specifically, the present invention relates to messaging services.
  • Messaging services have become increasingly popular, particularly in the Internet. These services allow several users to exchange messages (for example, short text phrases) in real time. For this purpose, each user accesses a server that supplies the messaging service in the Internet through a client computer (such as a PC). The user can then send to the other users and receive from them (through the server) the desired messages; this allows the users to exchange information in a direct and immediate way.
  • a server that supplies the messaging service in the Internet through a client computer (such as a PC).
  • the user can then send to the other users and receive from them (through the server) the desired messages; this allows the users to exchange information in a direct and immediate way.
  • a problem of such solution is that the opening of the pop-up window is annoying for the user, since it distracts her/him from the work in progress; moreover, such pop-up window takes room on the screen of the client (often hiding information being useful at the moment).
  • the problem is further exacerbated when the user receives a series of messages from different users in short succession; indeed, in such case a different pop-up window is opened on the screen for every received message (thereby multiplying the undesired effects indicated above).
  • Another known solution simply envisages informing the user at the receipt of any new message.
  • a small icon in a task bar being normally present at the bottom of the screen
  • the icon can blink or it may be accompanied by an acoustic signal.
  • the described solution does not provide any information about the received messages. Therefore, the user must always interrupt her/his work to display the received messages.
  • the messaging applications known in the art are rather awkward.
  • the operations to be executed for sending new messages and for responding to the received messages are not direct; moreover, no effective system is available for managing conversations with multiple users.
  • the invention proposes a minimized user interface for the messaging service.
  • an aspect of the present invention proposes a method for exchanging messages among users of computers.
  • the method includes a series of steps, which are carried out on the computer of each user.
  • the method starts by activating a window (for example, by selecting it with the mouse); the active window has a frame and a workspace within the frame.
  • Different messages are received in succession from the computers of other users.
  • the method then provides displaying a conversation element including an indication of a focused one of the received messages; this conversation element is displayed in correspondence of the frame of the active window.
  • the desired result is achieved by means of a strip in a title bar of the active window (which strip displays the last received message, or at least a part thereof).
  • Another aspect of the invention proposes a computer program for performing the method.
  • a further aspect of the invention proposes a corresponding system.
  • FIG. 1 is an illustrative representation of a computer that may be used to practice the solution according to an embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 2 a - 2 b depict an example of user interface of the computer wherein the solution according to an embodiment of the invention may be implemented;
  • FIGS. 3 a - 3 r show working examples of the solution according to different embodiments of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows the main software components that can be used to practice the solution according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • a computer 100 for example, a PC
  • the computer 100 includes a central unit 105 , which houses the electronic circuits controlling its operation (such as a microprocessor and a working memory).
  • the computer 100 is also provided with a hard-disk and a drive for reading CD-ROMs 110 .
  • a monitor 115 is used to display images on a screen 120 . Operation of the computer 100 is controlled by means of a keyboard 125 and a mouse 130 , which are connected to the central unit 105 in a conventional manner.
  • the central processing unit also houses a MoDem (for example, of the ADSL type); the MoDem is used to access the Internet (through a suitable access provider).
  • a MoDem for example, of the ADSL type
  • the MoDem is used to access the Internet (through a suitable access provider).
  • the computer 100 operates as a client, which can exploits shared resources supported by several servers of the Internet; particularly, a user of the computer 100 can connect to an instant messaging service provided by a specific server (or more).
  • the messaging service allows the user to manage real-time conversations with other users; in particular, it is possible to send to the other users and to receive from them (through the server) instant messages, generally in the form of short text phrases.
  • the computer is provided with a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
  • GUI Graphical User Interface
  • the screen is configured like a desktop, denoted as a whole with 205 ; different graphical objects are displayed on the desktop 205 for allowing the user to interact with the computer.
  • graphical objects are used to supply information to the user; vice-versa, the user can manipulate the graphical objects and can enter commands or information (through the mouse and the keyboard); a pointer 210 (represented with an arrow) indicates a current position on the desktop 205 .
  • the desktop 205 includes a task bar 215 ; the task bar 215 is used to open a starting menu; moreover, it displays miniaturized icons for invoking applications of common use in a fast way or regarding minimized running applications.
  • the remaining available part of the desktop 205 contains icons 220 a , 22 b for invoking applications and windows 225 a , 225 b , 225 c for the applications currently running.
  • Each window 225 a - 225 c consists of a rectangular area, which is used by the corresponding application to display information (such as images, diagrams, and texts); the window 225 a - 225 c also includes different commands (such as menus, buttons, and the like), which are exploited by the user to interact with the application.
  • the user can select one of the windows 225 a - 225 c , for example, by moving the pointer 210 over it and then clicking with the mouse.
  • Such window (for example, the window 225 a ) thus becomes active, and it can be used by the user.
  • the active window 225 a is emphasized (for example, by representing it in more shining tone), so as to highlight the focal point on the desktop 205 .
  • a conversation strip 230 is used to manage the messaging service; as described in detail in the following, such conversation strip 230 allows displaying the received messages and sending messages to the other users.
  • the conversation strip 230 is displayed at the edge of the active window 225 a , so as to not to interfere substantially with its operation.
  • the conversation strip 230 follows the focal point on the desktop 205 .
  • the window 225 a previously active
  • the window 225 b returns to a normal appearance
  • the (new) active window 225 b is now emphasized on the desktop 205 .
  • the conversation strip 230 automatically moves from the window 225 a to the window 225 b . In this way, the conversation strip 230 always remains in the foreground and at the disposal of the user (but without any annoyance).
  • the conversation strip 230 can remain suspended on the desktop 205 in its previous position (with the possibility for the user to move it to any other desired position). As soon as any window is opened (automatically becoming active), the conversation strip 230 relocates to the edge of the new active window. Alternatively, missing any windows on the desktop 205 it is also possible to add a small signaling icon in the taskbar 215 (with the conversation strip 230 that is reopened on the desktop 205 in response to a selection by the user).
  • a generic active window is denoted with 225 .
  • the window 225 includes a rectangular frame 305 ; a remaining part of the window 225 inside the frame 305 defines a workspace 310 (which is used to display the information and the desired commands).
  • the upper edge of the frame 305 generally includes a title bar 315 .
  • the title bar 315 displays an identifier being assigned to the window 225 (starting from its left end); for example, the identifier of the window consists of a graphical symbol followed by the name of the application running in the window 225 .
  • the title bar 315 also includes a series of system commands for the management of the window 225 (at its right end); for example, the system commands consist of a button for minimizing the window 225 into an icon, a button for restoring its original size, and a button for closing the window 225 .
  • the conversation strip 230 is arranged in the title bar 315 ; in this way, it is always ready for use by the user, without interfering in any way with the operation of the window 225 .
  • the conversation strip 230 is arranged between the identifier of the window and the corresponding system commands; as a consequence, the conversation strip 230 does not cover any useful information of the window 225 .
  • the conversation strip 230 includes a management command 320 (for example, for configuring the messaging application and for closing the conversation strip 230 ); the conversation strip 230 also includes a stack command 325 (which includes a number, at the beginning equal to 0) and a list command 330 , whose purposes will become evident in the following.
  • the main part of the conversation strip 230 instead defines an output area (at the beginning empty).
  • Such main part of the conversation strip 230 is used to display a received message; typically, the conversation strip 230 displays the name of the user followed by the text of the received message (for example, the message “Mess 1 ” from the user “U 1 ” in the case at issue).
  • the number in the stack command 325 is increased by 1 to indicate the received message.
  • the displayed characters are followed by a series of dots (in order to indicate its continuation).
  • a predefined threshold value for example, 0.5-1 s
  • a small pop-up window with the complete received message is opened near the conversation strip 230 ; such pop-up window is automatically closed as soon as the user moves the pointer 210 outside the conversation strip 230 .
  • the user selects the main part of the conversation strip 230 (for example, by moving the pointer 210 inside it and then clicking with the mouse).
  • the main part of the conversation strip 230 clears (deleting the received message), and it turns into an input area; for example, there is shown the name of the user to which it is desired to respond followed by a cursor for the entering of the desired response message.
  • the response message is automatically sent to the user at issue.
  • the number in the stack command 325 is decreased to 0 for indicating that no received message waiting for response exists any longer.
  • FIG. 3 c An alternative solution for responding to the received message is illustrated in FIG. 3 c .
  • a scroll-down element 335 which is used in a similar way as an input area for typing and sending the desired response message (being then closed automatically).
  • the scroll-down element 335 is arranged immediately below the conversation strip 230 ; preferably, the scroll-down element 335 is displayed in transparency on the workspace 310 of the window 225 .
  • the proposed solution allows maintaining visible the received message (which the user is responding to); in any case, the impact on the window 255 is very limited; particularly, the display in transparency of the scroll-down element 335 allows maintaining nevertheless its content visible as a background.
  • the new received message replaces the previous one in the main part of the conversation strip 230 (or it simply queues up to it).
  • the number of the waiting messages is increased to 2. This allows the user to look over any new received message immediately, without opening any annoying pop-up window; moreover, the user is always informed of the number of received messages which s/he must still respond to.
  • the user can respond immediately to the new received message (focused in the conversation strip 230 ) according to one of the above-described modes (with the number of the waiting messages that is decremented to 1). The same operations are repeated for every new received message, again with the possibility of responding immediately to the message being focused in the conversation strip 230 (i.e., the last received message).
  • the user can display all the waiting messages by simply selecting the stack command 325 (for example, moving the pointer 210 over it and then clicking with the mouse).
  • a scroll-down element 340 is opened 340 (in transparency on the window 225 ), which scroll-down element lists all the waiting messages (in reverse order of receipt moving downwards).
  • the scroll-down element 340 displays 5 waiting messages, as indicated by the corresponding number in the stack command 325 (i.e., the message “Mess 1 ” from the user “U 1 ”, the message “Mess 2 ” from the user “U 2 ”, the message “Mess 3 ” from the user “U 1 ”, the message “Mess 4 ” from the user “U 3 ” and the message “Mess 5 ” from the user “U 4 ”).
  • the proposed technique allows managing all the received messages within a single structure (even when the messages are received from different users).
  • the user can select any one of the waiting messages which s/he wishes to respond to (for example, the message “Mess 4 ” from the user “U 3 ”).
  • Such result is obtained by simply moving the pointer 210 over the desired waiting message and then clicking with the mouse.
  • the scroll-down element 340 is closed; at the same time, the selected message replaces the last received message in the main part of the conversation strip 230 (becoming then the new focused message). In this way, it is possible to respond to the selected message exactly in the same way as described above.
  • the scroll-down element 335 is automatically opened, so as to allow the user to type and send the desired response message (maintaining the selected message visible), without requiring any further command; once the response message has been sent, the selected message is deleted and replaced in the main part of the conversation strip 230 by the last waiting message (if any); at the same time, the number of waiting messages in the stack command 325 is decremented to 4.
  • FIG. 3 g A different solution for responding to the waiting messages is illustrated in FIG. 3 g .
  • the corresponding location of the scroll-down element 340 clears (deleting the selected message), and it turns into an input area that is used for typing and sending the desired response message.
  • the response message Once the response message has been sent, such location is deleted (with the possible next waiting messages that shift upwards by a position in the scroll-down element 340 ); at the same time, the number of the waiting messages in the stack command 325 is decremented (by 1).
  • the same operations described above can then be repeated to respond to any other waiting message remained in the scroll-down element 340 .
  • the scroll-down element 340 is closed at the end, for example, by pressing an escape key (ESC), selecting the stack command 325 again, or after a predefined period of inactivity (such as 10-20 s).
  • ESC escape key
  • an input box 345 is instead opened in response to the selection of the desired waiting message.
  • the input box 345 consists of a small pop-up window that overlays to scroll-down element 340 near the selected message.
  • the input box 345 is used for typing and sending the desired response message.
  • the input box 345 is automatically closed; at the same time, the selected message is deleted from the scroll-down element 340 , and the number of the waiting messages in the stack command 325 is decremented. In this case as well, the same operations can then be repeated to respond to other waiting messages (with the scroll-down element 340 that is likewise closed at the end).
  • Such implementation offers the further advantage of maintaining visible the selected message which the user is responding to.
  • the input box 345 remains open.
  • the input box 345 is now arranged near the next waiting message in the scroll-down element 340 (i.e., the message “Mess 3 ” from the user “U 1 ”), because of the shifting upwards caused by the deletion of the selected massage which the user has just responded to.
  • Such message is automatically selected, with the input box 345 that is set for responding to the corresponding user.
  • the same operations are repeated in succession for each further waiting message in the scroll-down element 340 .
  • the input box 345 and the scroll-down element 340 automatically close once responded to all the next waiting messages in the scroll-down element 340 ; in any case, the scroll-down element 340 and the input box 345 can always be closed upon request or for inactivity.
  • the proposed solution allows responding to more waiting messages in succession with the minimum number of operations.
  • the same result is obtained by displaying the input box 345 near the scroll-down element 340 ; more precisely, the input box 345 is now arranged immediately under the first waiting message at the bottom of the scroll-down element 340 (i.e., under the oldest received message).
  • the selected message (denoted with 340 s ) is preferably highlighted in the scroll-down element 340 , so as to indicate to the user whose waiting message s/he is responding to (for example, with a different color, with the addition of a question point, and the like).
  • the input box 345 can be automatically closed or remain open.
  • the selected message is deleted, and the next waiting messages in the scroll-down element 340 (together with the input box 345 ) shift upwards by a position; at the same time, the next waiting message in the scroll-down element 340 (i.e., the message “Mess 3 ” from the user “U 1 ”) is automatically selected, with the input box 345 that is set for responding to the corresponding user.

For example, in the case at issue the scroll-down element 350 displays the users “U 1 ”, “U 2 ”, “U 3 ” and “U 4 ”. At this point the user can select anyone of the other users (by moving the pointer 210 over it and then clicking with the mouse).

  • the messages manager 405 also controls a list 415 (which lists all the other users being active in the messaging service), and a list 418 (which lists all the conversations being open with the other users).
  • the messages manager 405 interfaces with an object 420 that implements the above-described conversation strip. More in detail, whenever a new message is received, the messages manager 405 invokes a corresponding method of this conversation object 420 , which method causes its display (in the main part of the conversation strip) and the increment of the number of the waiting messages (in the stack command); moreover, the conversation object 420 passes every message being entered by the user of the computer to the messages manager 405 for its sending and the concurrent updating of the stack 410 . At the same time, the messages manager 405 updates the conversations list 418 (when it is necessary). An input module 425 (of the operating system) notifies the conversation object 420 of any commands, with the possible associated information, being inserted by the user through the keyboard and/or the mouse with respect to the conversation strip (for their execution).
  • the conversation object 420 controls a rendering module 430 , which manages the display of the conversation strip and of the other objects related thereto (i.e., the different scroll-down elements and boxes) on the monitor.
  • the rendering module 430 interfaces with an output module 435 (of the operating system), which drives the monitor accordingly.
  • the rendering module 430 manages the display in transparency of the information on the active window by means of a multi-bit alpha channel (for example, at 8 bits).
  • the rendering module 430 composes the active window through an outer window with multi-bit alpha channel, only relating to the edge of the active window (which is directly managed by the output module 435 ), and an opaque inner window.
  • the inner window is generated by simulating the multi-bit alpha channel by a specific transparency module 440 (suitably optimized for this purpose). Consequently, the outer window (tied to the operating system and containing a small amount of information) is managed in a native way, while the inner window (tied to the application and containing a high amount of information) is managed in a custom way. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the desired graphical effect without substantially impairing the display speed.
  • the messages manager 405 saves all the conversations with the other users in a corresponding log 445 .
  • a new record is created at the closure of each conversation; the record includes the indication of the other user with which the conversation has occurred, the relative argument, and the sequence of all the exchanged messages (i.e., received and/or sent).
  • a search engine 450 accesses the conversation log 450 .
  • the search engine 450 allows querying the conversation log 445 according to different criteria (for example, the arguments, the users, the dates, or the words used in the messages).
  • the computer has another structure or includes similar elements (such as cache memories temporarily storing the programs or parts thereof to reduce the accesses to the mass memory during execution); in any case, it is possible to replace the computer with any code execution entity (such as a PDA, a mobile phone, and the like).
  • code execution entity such as a PDA, a mobile phone, and the like.
  • the conversation strip can be replaced with an equivalent element (with another appearance and/or different commands).
  • the conversation strip blink, with a possible acoustic signal, at the receipt of every new message (so as to attract the attention of the user); moreover, different colors for corresponding categories of messages may be used (for example, defined according to their priorities, to the users from which they are received, and the like).
  • the user list can display other information (such as their mood, state, and the like); in addition, it is also possible to partition the users into groups (such as friends, colleagues, customers, managers, and the like), and then to display them in different colors according to the group they belong to.
  • groups such as friends, colleagues, customers, managers, and the like
  • the exchanged messages may be saved continuously while the relative conversations are in progress; moreover, the arguments can also be used like bookmarks within the several conversations (to identify any change of argument).
  • the possibility to close the conversations upon request is not strictly necessary; in addition or in alternative, it is also possible to omit closing the conversations for inactivity (in other words, with the conversations that are saved with the respective arguments only at the closure of the session of the messaging service).
  • a structure that does not support the management of the arguments is contemplated and within the scope of the invention.
  • the program (which may be used to implement each embodiment of the invention) is structured in a different way, or if additional modules or functions are provided; likewise, the memory structures may be of other types, or may be replaced with equivalent entities (not necessarily consisting of physical storage media). Moreover, the proposed solution lends itself to be implemented with an equivalent method (having similar or additional steps, even in a different order).
  • the program may take any form suitable to be used by or in connection with any data processing system, such as external or resident software, firmware, or microcode (either in object code or in source code). Moreover, it is possible to provide the program on any computer-usable medium.
  • Examples of such medium are fixed disks (where the program can be pre-loaded), removable disks, tapes, cards, wires, fibers, wireless connections, networks, broadcast waves, and the like; for example, the medium may be of the electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor type.
  • the solution according to the present invention lends itself to be implemented with a hardware structure (for example, integrated in a chip of semiconductor material), or with a combination of software and hardware.
